I wanted to play it in the car, driving through the God-Botherer Belt, blasting out I Am The Resurrection. But I didn’t, because that’s also the AK-47 Belt.

Jesca Hoop - Stonechild

I’ve not listened to this album since I bought it some years ago. I was disappointed then, but now it has been transformed thanks to the dedicated radial supply and standalone music server.

My wife closes the doors and works upstairs! If I want a meal if have to be more careful what I play! Does it sound better at high volume?

On CD - Mavis Staples - Only for the lonely. A collection of songs from c.1969 when she was with the Stax label.

In my view, a great soul singer. CD is cited as 24 BIT Remastered but to my ears some of the source material is lacking in fine clarity. Nonetheless a very enjoyable album.

Aretha garnered the superlative plaudits and labels but Mavis should not be overlooked in my view.

ABBA - The Visitors [1981]

Their final studio album together, unsurprisingly darker and more melancholic than their earlier material. According to discogs this was the first album ever released on CD [1983], the sound quality is wonderful a big wide dynamic range full of nuances inviting you to crank it up. Lovely

Super Trooper [1980]

While listening to The Visitors I realised that I just had to tee up another one from the Swedish fabs.

Alison Krauss - Forget About It (1999)

The lady with a voice that always grabs my attention and keeps me riveted every time I hear her singing.
